Phone home like it's 1984.

Mac aficionado Matt, who made a retro-awesome video of the Apple website over the years, also concocted this video of an iPhone running on Mac System 1.0.

This old school MacPhone does everything you’d expect from an iPhone.

It simultaneously runs apps, widgets, has an accelerometer and makes calls — the phone dial pad graphic is an excellent touch —  though you won’t be able to play Desert Trek on an iPhone any time soon since he recreated that 1984 look with video effects.

The MacPhone mock-up took him about a day to make it using Keynote and iMovie plus some photoshopped screenshots from his 128kMac.

    That’s awesome! It’s like a pimped-up Newton.
